Modern update to the traditional hymn Gospel Plow (Hold On) made famous by Mahalia Jackson, Pete Steegers and others during the Civil Rights movement and folk music rebirth in the 1950-60s. More recently Bruce Springsteen revived the song. This rendition has a bluegrass feel and is the title song to their successful 2007 project of the same name. The song features Chris Freeman along with her daughter Misty Freeman, Joyce Martin-Sanders of the Martins, Bo Hinson son of famed Ronny Hinson, Jason Crabb from the Crabb Family and the Dixie Echoes quartet. Husband Darrell Freeman plays and daughter Misty play guitar and Darrell's first cousin Joe Freeman plays keyboard while Darrell and Chris' son Caylon plays drums for the Freemans. James Hale said in his SoGospelNews review, "It's an interesting little ditty that has the feel of an old Negro Spiritual and I think a lot of people will enjoy the song." James is right about the song and CD. This is indeed an awesome album.

  • yes to Mahalia Jackson ! lol I was like where did I hear this b4 :) good job!

  • Oh I love this....this song is older than ...it goes back to younger mahalia jackson days...used a lot in days when some where captive to the laws of man...God made a way then and he still is..Acts 2:38 is the only way to be free....thank you Jesus...

  • The Freemans are great. But this song is annoying. Sorry.

  • great version ...thanks

  • This is a good version of this song. I must make a correction to the posters information... Bo Hinson is the son of Ronny Hinson, not the late Kenny Hinson.
